Make It Over

歌詞

Whatever they serve, we're gonna take it Strengthen your will, they can't break it If you living the dream, they can't wake it Never be poor, broke, and naked As long as we got each other Look out for one another We're gonna make it over Feeling the strain of years and my hairline's receding And my eyes get blurry when I do too much reading Things got me believing that I really am human Need to watch the words of the fools that I'm consuming Need to watch the messages and knowledge that I'm spreading Cuz it seems that more and more poetry is dead And all the people want is money But money can't buy you love and happiness Even though some people try You know the rich and get rich And the poor get the short end of the stick So they stick up the rich for cash quick And the rich call the law, who be calling [?] To take it from the hood to the ghetto with bars Now they ghetto superstars in the twisted system So many lives victimized, we glorify the victims And if I die with my eyes open up to it Then I'mma be just as wrong as the ones who do it So in my life I do my best to make it never happen And revolutionize my people through rhymes and rappin' Freedom got a shotgun, we ain't even scrappin' It's new world order, and we are trapped in It's millenium armageddon just around the block Who the hell is coming with me? Let me throw the first rock Call me David, young warrior, with trustee sling When my stone sail, y'all can hear the angels sing When Goliath fall, y'all can see the people bring Aloe Blacc back on their shoulders crowned a new king And things won't be the same As long as I know the game We're gonna make it Whatever they serve, we can take it Show our reserve, and don't fake it Strengthen your will, they can't break it Swallow your pride, they can't shake it If you living your dream, they can't wake it You'll never be poor broke and naked As long as we got each other Look out for one another We're gonna make it over In the dead of winter Screaming at the world as I enter Demons pulling me in to be a sinner More than the angels fool me to saint[?] Blueprintin' life on white canvas with no brushes or paint Just to let out my veins, fingers stroking the pain Slave driven slowly insane, legs shackles and chains Visualize the shit I'm saying, it's vivid to some Overexposed flows that I've delivered have come Like my uncle pours a sip of the ale Grey hair blendin' in with the smoke he inhale Then he exhale Blowing stress out from his mouth I sit and listen to whatever he was talkin' about A little change in his pocket, he would offer it out Then go and take a piss at the side of the house These days [?] me up real quick though Seeing shit that probably make you feel real sick though I'm trying to let it go But memories don't go with ease The future probably make it dissolve, slowly leave And in the end, the demons still win over Cuz I haven't fully given up my heart to Jehovah So many parts of me is part of this earth So when I die, mix up my ashes with the dirt Call my little sister, tell her I'm gone Tell her that sometimes I was wrong And that before I left, I wrote her a song We're gonna make it Whatever they serve, we can take it Show our reserve, and don't fake it Strengthen your will, they can't break it Swallow your pride, they can't shake it If you living your dream, they can't wake it Never be poor broke and naked As long as we got each other Look out for one another We're gonna make it over As long as the sun come up We keep rising As long as the sun come up We stand up As long as the sun come up We keep rising As long as the sun come up We get up As long as the sun come up We keep rising As long as the sun come up We stand up As long as the sun come up We keep rising As long as the sun come up We get up Whatever they serve, we can take it Show our reserve, and don't fake it Strengthen your will, they can't break it Swallow your pride, they can't shake it If you living your dream, they can't wake it You'll never be poor broke and naked As long as we got each other Look out for one another We're gonna make it over That's who I am, who are you? I'm the one you can't break I'm what you get afraid of all your life
